I just stumbled upon this petition. All I can say to those who have formed this petition is "shame on you." If you don't agree with something and you can't be submissive to the Biblical authority of your local church. MOVE ON.Again, I just stumbled upon this and was appauled that a local congregation would be acting this way. Seriously? A petition on the internet for Pete's sake? It makes me sad for the Kingdom. What type of witness are you to those outside your walls? Let alone those who are on the inside. The damage will be great. Very sad. Rememeber...they will recognise you by your love for one another. And sadly...by your lack thereof. You folks need some serious prayer and reconciliation to take place. I don't know you, but I will pray for you.
